AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Comprehensive Plan Overview and Progress Report
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Growth Management Act (GMA) RCW 36.70A
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: None
BACKGROUND: Per RCW 36.70A.130(1), every county and city in the state is required to
conduct an update of its comprehensive plan and development regulations every 8 years. The
City of Spokane Valley's update is due no later than June 30, 2017.
In January 2015 the City began the update of the Comprehensive Plan. The Staff and
Consultants have held three public meetings, completed a Vision Report, and taken 26 Citizen -
Initiated Amendment Requests (CARs) through Planning Commission and City Council Review.
The Consultants have additionally completed an audit of the Comprehensive Plan Goals and
Policies, and completed a Draft Existing Conditions Report for the City's housing, land use, and
transportation conditions.
RCW 36.70.130 requires cities and county to accommodate the urban growth projected for the
next twenty-year period through the population allocation process. The Board of County
Commissioners (BOCC) determines the population allocated to each city. On July 9th, County
staff presented three population estimates to the Planning Technical Advisory Committee
(PTAC) for discussion. The tentative plan is to advance the information to the Steering
Committee of Elected Officials (Steering Committee) for review in September. The Steering
Committee provides a recommendation to the BOCC on the population allocation following a
public hearing. Once the City receives the population allocation, a land capacity analysis can
be conducted. The results of the analysis will inform some of the decisions necessary to
accommodate the population and densities within city limits.
Tadas Kisielius from Van Ness Feldman will provide an overview of the City's authority to plan
and a discussion of the population allocation process. City staff will discuss the next steps of the
update process.

Authority to Plan
The Constitution authorizes local government to
plan but also sets limits of planning authority
Tension between two constitutional principles:
• Planning is a legitimate exercise of the police power (i.e.,
power to protect public health, safety and welfare)
• The City's planning authority is bounded by the
Constitution's protection of property rights (e.g., due
process protections and prohibition on uncompensated
takings)

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Potential Admissions Tax
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 35.21.280
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Council heard discussion of a potential admissions
tax at its winter retreat on February 17, 2015 and had further discussion on May 5, 2015.
BACKGROUND: Pursuant to RCW 35.21.280, the City is authorized to levy and impose a tax in
an amount no greater than five percent on the admission charge for any place. The Attorney
General has opined that "any place" is any amusement location. The tax cannot be levied on
schools. The admissions tax cannot be levied on any facility of a public facility district for which
the district has levied an admissions tax, unless the city uses the admissions tax revenue to pay
for construction, operation, maintenance, repair, replacement, or enhancement of that public
facility or to develop programs to support that public facility.
The tax may be imposed on the following types of admission charges:
1. A charge made for season tickets or subscriptions;
2. A cover charge, or a charge made for use of seats and tables reserved or otherwise,
and other similar accommodations;
3. A charge made for food and refreshment in any place where free entertainment,
recreation or amusement is provided;
4. A charge made for rental or use of equipment or facilities for purposes of recreation or
amusement; if the rental of the equipment or facilities is necessary to the enjoyment of a
privilege for which a general admission is charged, the combined charges shall be
considered as the admission charge;
5. Automobile parking charges if the amount of the charge is determined according to
the number of passengers in the automobile.
The City has broad authority to make distinctions and levy the admissions tax to some places
but exclude others. To do so, there must be a reasonable basis for the distinction and the
distinction must have a rational basis to the purpose of the legislation. For example, if the City
imposed the admissions tax on movie theaters, it could exempt nonprofit tax-exempt
organizations showing motion pictures from the admissions tax. Other examples that courts
have upheld include admission fees on amusement and recreation activities such as golf, ski
lifts, skating, and billiards, but exempting bowling; and a distinction between floating hotels and
hotels on land.
The admission tax must be collected, administered and audited by the city imposing the tax.
Admission tax revenues may be used for any general governmental purpose unless levied on a
public facilities district facility as discussed above.
At its May 5, 2015 meeting, Council asked for additional information regarding the amount of
admissions tax collected by surrounding jurisdictions and the types of facilities from which the
tax is collected. Staff has included spreadsheets for the City of Spokane, City of Liberty Lake,
and City of Airway Heights with information on the types of admissions taxed, the amount of the
tax, budgeted revenues, and exemptions. The amounts vary significantly by jurisdiction.
Generally, the City of Spokane collects the tax on nearly all allowable admissions and budgets
approximately $800,000 per year in revenues. The City of Liberty Lake has restricted its tax to
golf courses and related golfing activities and budgets a much smaller amount (approximately
$75,000 in 2014). The City of Airway Heights imposes the tax broadly in a manner similar to
Spokane, but generates a small amount when compared to Spokane.
Further, Council requested review of how the tax may be applied or broken into classifications
for certain operations within Spokane Valley.
Two such operations that were reviewed were events at the Spokane County Fair and Expo
Center (the "Fair Center") and events at Avista Stadium, which houses the Spokane Indians.
Fair Center
The Fair Center hosts approximately 100 events each year, including the Spokane County
Interstate Fair (the "Fair") each fall. On its 2014 Lodging Tax application, the Fair Center
estimated more than 400,000 attendees to the Fair Center annually. Further, the Fair is one of
the primary revenue generators for the Fair Center and lasts 10 days. The primary admission
charges at the Fair that could potentially be subject to an admissions tax are (1) gate
admissions, (2) ride charges, and (3) concert and other event tickets such as the rodeo that
occur during the Fair. Vendor rental charges and camping fees would likely not be subject to an
admissions tax since the vendors rent spaces under leases and campers pay overnight site fees
which do not fall within the definition of "admission charge."
Staff has contacted the Fair Center and been informed that there are approximately 190,000
Fair attendees annually that generate approximately $900,000-$1,000,0000 dollars in gate
admissions, based upon a $10 gate charge for adults and a $7 gate charge for seniors 65 and
over, military, and children ages 7-13. The rides at the Fair are operated by a private company.
Staff has not been able to obtain the private ride charge revenues or concert charges as of the
date of this RCA.
Other non -Fair events rent the Fair Center facility during the year, but do not report gate
charges or gate revenues to the Fair Center. Accordingly, it is unknown how much potential
revenue would be generated from non -Fair events at this time.
A 5% admissions tax on the Fair gate fees would generate approximately $45,000 to $50,000
annually based upon the information provided by Fair Center staff.
Avista Stadium
Avista Stadium is owned by Spokane County and is leased to the Spokane Indians for their use
as a minor league baseball park. The Spokane Indians will play 38 home games at Avista
Stadium in 2015 and tickets range from $5 to $20. Additionally, Avista Stadium hosts 20-30
other events during the year, including regional high school and club baseball tournaments.
The Indians had 193,865 fans attend games in 2014 and averaged 5,240 fans per game.
Based on an average price of $12 per ticket and 193,865 fans, an admissions tax of 5% would
generate $116,319. Staff have had discussions with one of the part-owners of the Spokane
Indians who indicated that the Spokane Indians already pay an MLB ticket tax of 7.5%.
Other Taxable Businesses
There are a number of other types of business that could potentially be subject to an admissions
tax. Examples include the movie theaters at the Spokane Valley Mall, bowling alley and other
arcade operations, including the operations at Bumpers, cover charges for bars and other live
music, and athletic field rentals.
Due to the diverse range of businesses that could be subject to an admissions tax, it is very
difficult to determine at this time estimated revenues from an admissions tax.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Update on 2014 Washington State Legislative Amendments related to
Marijuana
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 69.50 (Initiative 502 has been codified as RCW 69.50) and
WAC 314-55; RCW 69.51A (governing medical marijuana); Second Substitute Senate Bill 5052
(Cannabis Patient Protection Act); Second Engrossed Second Substitute House Bill 2136.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Council adopted regulations governing locations and
buffers for recreational marijuana on July 22, 2014. Council adopted its Legislative Agenda for
the 2015-2017 Legislative Session on November 4, 2014. Council adopted a moratorium on
unlicensed marijuana uses on December 9, 2014.
BACKGROUND: The City Council previously adopted permanent regulations governing the
zoning and locating of recreational marijuana on July 22, 2014. These regulations include
restrictive buffers for recreational marijuana production, processing, and retail sales to certain
trails, undeveloped school and library properties, and City Hall. On December 9, 2014, the City
adopted a moratorium on unlicensed marijuana uses, which includes all marijuana uses not
licensed by the Washington State Liquor Control Board. Pursuant to the work plan established
by the moratorium, the City is required to develop permanent regulations regarding unlicensed
marijuana uses. Due to the uncertainty of the law prior to the 2015 Legislative Session, the City
opted to wait until the 2015 Legislative Session was complete to move forward with its
consideration of permanent regulations over unlicensed marijuana uses.
The 2015 Legislative Session resulted in two primary bills that substantially revised existing
marijuana law and consolidated the medical and recreational marijuana markets. The first bill,
SSSB 5052 (otherwise known as the "Cannabis Patient Protection Act" and referred to as SB
5052) primarily reconciles the medical and recreational marijuana laws into a comprehensive
system and changed the name of the Liquor Control Board to the "Liquor and Cannabis Board"
(the "L&CB"). The second bill, SESSHB 2136 (also referred to as HB 2136) is an omnibus
marijuana bill that modifies the taxing structure for marijuana, directs some tax revenue to local
jurisdictions, and establishes a broad range of other modifications. The major changes of SB
5052 and HB 2136 are detailed below.
Reconcile Medical and Recreational Marijuana Markets
- Establishes a "medical marijuana endorsement" for licensed marijuana retailers. This
endorsement allows a licensed retailer to sell medicinal marijuana to qualifying patients
and designated providers.
• The endorsement allows retailers to provide, at no charge, marijuana to qualifying
patients and designated providers.
Page 1 of 5
• The medical marijuana endorsement does not prohibit the licensed retailer from
also selling recreational marijuana.
• Qualifying patients and designated providers may receive an exemption from the
State's marijuana tax when purchasing medical marijuana from a licensed retailer
with a medical marijuana endorsement.
- The Department of Health, in conjunction with the L&CB, must adopt rules for
marijuana concentrates, useable marijuana and marijuana infused products sold to
qualifying patients and designated providers. These rules must include:
• THC/CBD concentration or ratios, labeling requirements, testing and pesticide
requirements, safe handling requirements and training for employees.
- Marijuana retailers (with or without medical marijuana endorsement) may sell products
with a THC concentration of 0.3 percent or less.
- Creates a medical marijuana authorization database that qualifying patients and
designated providers must be entered into.
• Patients and providers will obtain "recognition cards" that authorize them to
dispense (for designated providers) and purchase medical marijuana.
• The database must be operational by July 1, 2016.
- Instructs the Department of Health to create forms for use by those health care
professionals authorizing qualifying patients and designated providers.
- Collective gardens must cease operations as of July 1, 2016.
Changes to Licensing
- L&CB must reconsider and increase number of retail outlets to accommodate medical
marijuana needs.
- L&CB must develop merit based application process for new retail licenses:
• Priority given to applications by collectives that were in lawful operation before
January 1, 2013.
• L&CB will adopt rules for retailers holding medical marijuana endorsements in
coordination with Washington Department of Health.
L&CB must increase canopy limits for producers to account for medical marijuana
needs.
- Restricts the use of butane or other gases for marijuana extraction to validly licensed
marijuana processors (no home extraction with these types of gases and solvents).
- Retailers may not sell through vending machines or by drive-up windows.
- Establishes a medical marijuana consultant certificate to allow consultants to provide
advice to patients at retail stores holding a medical marijuana endorsement.
- Establishes a transportation license.
• Common carriers may deliver between licensed marijuana businesses within the
State
- Establishes a research license.
• Allows licensed researchers to research chemical potency, clinical investigations
into marijuana-derived drug products, and efficacy and safety of administering
marijuana as medical treatment, and to conduct genomic or agricultural research.
- Requires signage at the premises of prospective producers, processors, and retailers
providing notice to the public of the intent to license the facilities as a marijuana
producer, processor, or retailer.
Page 2 of 5
Allow for "Cooperatives" (effective July 1, 2016)
- Allows for the creation of medical marijuana "cooperatives" that may be formed by up
to four qualifying patients or designated providers.
• Cooperatives cannot be located within a mile of marijuana retailers or within 1,000
feet of schools, playgrounds, recreation centers, child care centers, public parks,
public transit centers, library, or applicable game arcades.
• Cooperative locations must be registered with the L&CB.
• The location of a cooperative must be a domicile of one of the participants and only
one cooperative may be located on a single property tax parcel.
• Cooperatives may grow up to a maximum of 60 plants.
• The L&CB may adopt rules relating to security and traceability requirements for
cooperatives.
• Cooperatives are not considered businesses (since they only distribute to the four
members), so no business licenses or taxes.
• May not locate where prohibited by a city or county zoning provision.
Health Care Professional Provisions
- Directs the various State boards and agencies to develop and approve continuing
education programs related to medical marijuana use.
- Requires health care professionals who prescribe medicinal marijuana to more than
thirty patients within a single calendar month to report the number of authorizations
issued.
- To issue authorization: requires documented relationship with patient, completed in-
person physical exam of patient, documentation of patient's condition(s) that may benefit
from medical marijuana use, completed authorization forms, and health care
professional must maintain permanent location to issue authorizations.
- Allows health care professionals to determine the amount of marijuana a qualifying
patient should use for treatment.
• Unless otherwise specified, default amount is three ounces of useable
marijuana, 48 ounces of marijuana -infused product in solid form, 216 ounces of
marijuana -infused product in liquid form, or 21 grams of concentrates.
Qualified Patients and Designated Providers
- Must receive authorization from health care professional.
- Authorization and recognition card issued once entered into the database are
necessary to receive arrest protection.
- May keep amounts of marijuana listed on authorization card.
- May grow up to 15 plants in house.
• No more than 15 plants per housing unit regardless of how many patients
reside in the housing unit (except for cooperatives, which may have 60 plants).
- No production or processing if any portion can be seen from unaided vision or smelled
from a public place or private property of another housing unit.
- State will adopt rules allowing non-combustible extraction by qualified patients and
designated providers.
- Minors may be patients, with parents serving as designated providers.
Page 3 of 5
Local Authority
- Repeals RCW 69.51A.140, which granted cities and counties the authority to adopt
and enforce requirements related to medical marijuana, including zoning.
- Cities are authorized to adopt civil penalties for patients and designated providers
growing/keeping plants outside the limits set by SB 5052.
- Cities may adopt ordinances reducing the buffers between licensed facilities and
recreation centers, child care centers, public parks, public transit centers, libraries, or
game arcade which is not restricted to those over 21, from 1,000 feet to not less than
100 feet, provided such distance reduction will not negatively impact the jurisdiction's
civil regulatory enforcement, criminal law enforcement interests, public safety, or public
health.
• Buffers to schools and playgrounds may not be reduced below the state
required 1,000 feet.
- Subject to any rules adopted by the L&CB, cities and counties may adopt an ordinance
prohibiting a marijuana producer or processor from operating or locating a business
within areas zoned primarily for residential use or rural use with a minimum lot size of
five acres or smaller.
- Cities and counties may adopt an ordinance requiring individual notice by an applicant
for a marijuana producer, processor, researcher, or retailer's license at least 60 days
prior to issuance of the license to any school, playground, recreation center, child care
center, church, public park, public transit center, library, or applicable game arcade that
is within 1,000 feet of the establishment that is seeking licensure.
Criminal/Civil Infraction Modifications
- For purposes of medical marijuana (RCW 69.51A), "public place" is defined the same
as for under RCW 70.160.020 (the "no -smoking" law) (primarily for consideration of
production or processing of medical marijuana at a housing unit).
- For purposes of the prohibition of consuming marijuana in view of the general public or
in a public place under RCW 69.50, "public place" is defined the same as RCW
66.04.010 (definition in alcohol laws). Consumption in a public place is a class 3 civil
infraction.
- Operation of a "marijuana club" or conducting or maintaining a public place where
marijuana is held or stored (except for licensed facilities) or consumption of marijuana is
permitted is a class C felony.
- No person under 21 may possess, manufacture, sell, or distribute marijuana.
- It is an illegal unfair business practice for anyone to distribute or sell synthetic
cannabinoids, cathinones, or methcathinones ("bath salts").
Tax Reforms
- Modifies three-tier tax structure (25% on each of the producer, processor, and retailer)
to single state retail sales tax of 37% that is paid by the retail marijuana consumer.
• New regulations governing collection and payment of taxes and penalties for
non-payment.
Tax Distribution to Local Governments
- From 2015-2018, cities and counties split $6,000,000 per year. Cities and counties
must have a marijuana retailer to qualify for revenue, and distributions are based ratably
upon sales within the jurisdiction.
Page 4 of 5
- After 2018, after certain minimum distributions to various State funds and State
agencies, and provided the total collections exceed $25,000,000, then 30% of the total
amount of marijuana tax revenue collected is distributed to local counties and cities
quarterly as follows:
• 30% of the local distribution to the counties and cities where licensed
marijuana retailers operate, with each jurisdiction receiving a share based upon
the proportionate share of total tax revenue generated and collected in each
jurisdiction.
• 70% of the local distribution to the counties and cities ratable on a per capita
basis, provided counties receive 60% of that amount and no county or city that
prohibits marijuana producers, processors, or retailers may receive any tax
revenue.
• Local distribution amounts may not exceed $15,000,000 in 2018 and 2019 and
$20,000,000 thereafter.
• Currently, Gordon Thomas Honeywell has provided a preliminary estimate of
$30,115 for local tax revenue the City would receive (note that this is very
preliminary estimate).
